Barton
There are a number of key regeneration projects in the Barton and Irlam area:
- The area is part of the Salford West Strategic Regeneration Framework and Action Plan. The framework will drive investment across the area for the next 20 years, influencing public and private sector investment, attracting new investment to the area.
- The Northwest Regional Development Agency designated Barton Strategic Site offers an opportunity for 2,100 direct jobs and many more indirect jobs. The site, which has yet to be developed, has been earmarked as having potential for a water, road and rail freight interchange. The application for Port Salford is currently under discussion between Peel Holdings and the Highways Agency.
- Clearance work started in early 2008 on the site of the new City of Salford Stadium. The stadium will house the Salford Reds Rugby League team as well as wider hotel, restaurant, retail, conference and leisure facilities.
